With his experienced, inventive approach to the culinary arts and dynamic leadership qualities, James Boyce was tapped to be the anchor of Studio when it opened in 2003. After earning a second Mobil Five-Star award for Studio, he relocated to Huntsville, AL to begin new culinary endeavors with the development of his own company, Boyce Restaurant Concepts, Inc. together with his wife, Suzan.

In 2008 they opened Cotton Row, in Downtown Historic Huntsville, featuring fine American cuisine with strong Southern influences. They also opened Pane e Vino Pizzeria, which offers rustic-chic Italian fare in a superbly artistic setting - just below Huntsville’s own Museum of Art and overlooking Big Spring Park. And influenced by turn of the century style and classic cuisine, Jimmy and Suzan, opened the doors to Commerce Kitchen in December 2010. Each restaurant within the Boyce Restaurant Concepts' portfolio offers guests unique tastes, and together a compelling destination dining experience for Downtown Historic Huntsville, Alabama.

Jimmy is regularly featured on the cooking segment of the Today show, in Martha Stewart Weddings, and on Martha Stewart Living Radio. He and his restaurants are also featured in highly acclaimed magazines from Cooking Light, and Food & Wine, to Men’s Health.
